Kai caught it.
A worn leather pouch.
Inside...
"Training weights?"
Taai nodded.
Kai carefully put them away.
"...Thank you."

Far below...
Andrew yawned loudly.
He had somehow fallen asleep while standing beside the city gate.
His enormous scythe rested against his shoulder.
One guard carefully tried poking him.
Andrew's eyes immediately snapped open.
"What."
"N-Nothing!"
The guard jumped back.
Andrew scratched his head.
"...Weird dream."
He looked around.
"The city's still here."
"Guess that's good."
He noticed Kai approaching.
"So you're leaving?"
Kai nodded.
"For a while."
Andrew stretched.
"Bring me souvenirs."
Kai blinked.
"From a secret organization?"
"Exactly."
"They've probably got cool mugs."
Kai couldn't help smiling.
"I'll keep that in mind."

Not far away...
Chocomint waited beside a simple wooden wagon.
No horses.
No driver.
Only the wagon.
Kai looked around.
"...How does it move?"
Chocomint stepped inside.
"You'll see."
Kai climbed aboard.
The moment the door closed...
A faint blue glow spread beneath the wagon.
The wheels never touched the ground.
Instead...
The wagon quietly floated several inches above the earth.
